To all those "benefiting" from the tax saving a pension has to offer....

Speeding up the raising of the state pension age from 65 to 68 will be part of the UK government's first reforms.

I hope you live long enough to claim it.

I think of it as a small insurance policy in case I live that long.

Anyway, raising the age is a damn good idea. Reduces our pension timebomb a bit. And companies will have to raise their "compulsory" retirement age to match, keeping experienced people on the job and denting the so-called need for Bobs and other imported workers.

You will find most private/company pensions raise their age as well after Gov does

What about all those folks working for the state who suddenly found they could retire at 55 rather than 65?

My father did that.
